Software Developer jobs in Brooklin, ON

About Us

Hatch Studio has been building and running software since 2011. Our engineers have worked on products used by millions of people, alongside teams at companies like EA, Epic Games and Krafton. We've lasted 15 years by delivering great work and treating people well.

We believe AI is changing how great software gets built, and we want our people at the front of that change. At Hatch, you'll be encouraged to explore AI tools in your daily work, share what you learn, and help shape how we build. We want engineers who are curious, care about quality, and take ownership of what they ship.

We're based in Vancouver, with team members across Canada.

About The Role

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will take ownership of features across the entire application lifecycle, moving away from a traditional siloed approach to a true ‘you build it, you run it' mentality. You will have deep expertise in the development domain and have sufficient touch-points across everything from developer experience to service-level objectives.

While you will build modern, high-performing frontend interfaces using React 19+ and Next.js, you will also architect backend components, build data pipelines, manage infrastructure as code, and ensure long-term platform reliability. We value an abstract understanding of engineering principles over specific tool syntax, looking for someone who can easily master and apply core concepts to any framework.

You will

• Drive Full-Stack Features: Build performant, accessible, and maintainable full-stack features using React 19+ and Next.js, spanning UI components, server components, route handlers, and API layers.
• Develop Backend & Data Pipelines: Build and maintain scalable backend logic and data pipelines leveraging tools like AWS Lambda and Next.js.
• Own Platform & DevOps Automation: Manage and automate process and release workflows, continuous integration via GitLab, and Platform Ops using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) with AWS CDK or Terraform.
Shape UI Foundations: Evolve our design system based on Atomic Design principles (atoms molecules organisms templates
• pages), writing clean, component-level styles.
• Ensure Testing & Reliability: Implement comprehensive application testing (unit, integration, and e2e testing).
• Monitor & Debug Systems: Set up and maintain application monitoring using Sentry and AWS CloudWatch, and perform distributed debugging by tracing issues through all involved domains.
• Measure Outcomes: Own SLO measurement and reporting using tools like Mixpanel to ensure high platform performance and user satisfaction.
• Collaborate & Review: Participate in requirements engineering within agile workflows, lead code reviews, provide structured feedback, and drive architectural choices via RFC processes.

You have

• Full-Lifecycle Experience: Proven experience across the full application stack and lifecycle, starting with developer experience (code quality and productivity tools) all the way through production deployment.
• Strong Engineering Abstraction: A deep, abstract understanding of engineering principles, tools, and frameworks, with a proven ability to learn abstract concepts and apply them across different tools.
• Frontend Expertise: Deep hands-on experience with modern frontend development using Next.js, React 19+, and component architectures built on Atomic Design methodology.
• Backend & API Mastery: Strong experience building and consuming APIs, establishing data contracts, and managing backend systems or data pipelines.
• DevOps & Platform Fundamentals: Practical experience with process automation, CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab), and managing infrastructure through IaC tools like AWS CDK or Terraform.
• Observability Mindset: Experience setting up application monitoring (e.g., Sentry, CloudWatch) and using distributed debugging techniques across multiple architectural layers.
• Must be a resident of Canada and eligible to work in Canada.

Nice-to-Haves

• Strong Communication & Documentation: Proven experience writing and maintaining clear documentation, progress reports, and structured requests for changes, with the ability to seamlessly interface with specialized internal teams, external design/dev partners, and service providers.
• Agentic Coding Stacks: Experience building, shaping, or maintaining AI and LLM agents for coding, including writing rulesets and skills to ensure they fulfill clean code requirements.
• Real-Time Data Systems: Experience working with or building systems using WebSockets, pub/sub architectures, or other asynchronous communication patterns.
• Interactive Canvas & Graphics: Experience with interactive 2D/3D Canvas experiences, game engines, data visualization, or gamification elements.
• High-Scale Platforms: Experience scaling production platforms to support 100k+ users.
